“My mom makes me feel guilty for wanting to move”

I’m 24, almost 25 and my boyfriend is 26 and we’re in a long term, long distance relationship. My bf lives in New York with his parents, and I live in Texas with my parents and siblings. For a year and a half now we have been planning for me to move to New York in the summer of 2018.

We have plans and goals for when I move there, and we told my parents together this month, about me moving me but my mom is completely against it, because she doesn’t like the decision, so she makes me feel guilty for it.

You have cleverly omitted WHY she doesn’t which leads me to believe she’s got some good points.

Can you afford New York rents? Do you have a job lined up? A back up plan and escape money if this all falls through? How will the rent and house hold chores be split? What about pets? What will you do if you accidentally get pregnant?

Hope you have answers and money for all these because otherwise you may be up the creek without a paddle and no parents to rescue you anytime soon.
